Montelucci 8, Gaiole in Chianti - Siena

This attractive villa has a superb hilltop position and is within easy reach of Gaiole in the popular Chianti region. Wooden shutters frame the windows overlooking the tree-lined grounds and beyond to the thickly forested hills and valleys. Perfect for a large group of family or friends, the property sleeps eight in four bedrooms. Plus its single-storey, so it’s easy to keep an eye on younger members of the family. Traditional terracotta floors, beamed ceilings and wooden furniture combine with high-spec contemporary bathrooms and light-filled bedrooms decorated in soft, soothing tones.

You’ll love the spacious part-forested grounds, featuring immaculately maintained gardens with pristine lawns traversed by stepping-stone paths. Two gazebos provide welcome shade – one, to the front of the villa, has a large table and chairs for socialising over al-fresco feasts, while another offers an intimate seating area with a sofa and armchairs, ideal for watching the sun set. The private pool is a favourite with guests for its wonderful setting to one side of the garden and offers views towards Siena across the rolling Chianti hills. The characterful town of Gaiole is within easy reach for groceries, bars and restaurants.

Simona and Danilo were the best of hosts. Although they lived on the ground floor you would not have known they were there. They provided excellent recommendations for restaurants and helpful hints for travelling to Florence and Siena. Delicious homemade cakes and fresh eggs and tomatoes as well! A real gem of a place - beautiful views and a lovely pool.

OWNER COMMENT: Thank you so much for your kind words. It's been a pleasure knowing you and all your nice family and we are happy you enjoyed your stay at Montelucci. We try to do our best to make our guests feel at home and comfortable. We would be very happy to welcome you here again in the near future. Take care and kind regards to you all. Danilo and Simona

NEIL from USA wrote: A perfect villa for a family with plenty of space both in the villa and outside for everyone. The owners are just wonderful and can not do enough to make your stay perfect. They brought around eggs and vegetables from their father's organic farm for us at no cost. They also baked a cake which was so good the kids wanted more and they were generous enough to make another one! There are lots of toys and games for the kids to use - both for the pool and in the garden. They also have a Wii which was well received as an early evening fun time for the kids as well. Perfectly positioned for exploring. We would thoroughly recommend this place.

We had a very good holiday in Montelucci 8. The house and the garden were very big. We stayed there in the summer but the house was very nice and cool, although there was no airconditioning. We even did not use the fans, because of the situation on top of a hill, there is Always a nice temperature with a breeze. The owners Simona and Danilo are very friendly and helpful. The house has been decorated very tastful and all the rooms are very spacious. From the swimmingpool you have a wonderful view over the area. We really can recommand this house to everyone.
